  • the mounting lug 80 is not limited to the above-described configuration, but it may be configured in any suitable manner.
  • the electric compressor 10 need not necessarily be mounted to the vehicle 100 by the bolt 104 , but any suitable method such as fitting may be used.
  • the cluster block 62 need not necessarily be provided.
  • the electronic components 72 , the connecting terminal 61 and the mounting lug 80 need not necessarily be aligned on an imaginary line passing through the center M of the circuit board 71 as long as they are disposed generally in the radial direction R of the rotary shaft 12 .
  • the electronic components 72 other than the specific electronic component 72 a may be arranged in alignment with the connecting terminals 61 and the mounting lug 80 in the radial direction R of the rotary shaft 12 . If a plurality of the electronic components 72 is provided, at least one of the electronic components 72 need be arranged in line with the connecting terminal 61 and the mounting lug 80 in this order in the radially outward direction with respect to the rotary shaft 12 .
  • the first peripheral wall 41 may be formed extending from the cover 32 instead of the main housing 31 .
  • the cover 32 may have a bottomed cylindrical shape, and the first peripheral wall 41 of the cover 32 is connected to the first surface 40 a of the partitioning wall 40 .
  • the mounting lug 80 is mounted to the cover 32 of the housing 11 .
  • the first peripheral wall 41 is formed extending in the axial direction Z of the rotary shaft 12 and cooperate with the partitioning wall 40 to form the inverter chamber 24 .
  • the electric compressor 10 need not necessarily be mounted to the engine 101 of the vehicle 100 . If the vehicle 100 is driven by a driving motor instead of the engine 101 , the electric compressor 10 is mounted to the drive motor.
  • the vehicle 100 may be configured to be driven by a fuel cell battery or a storage battery device instead of the engine 101 .
  • a fluid that is compressed by the electric compressor 10 is not limited to a refrigerant gas, but the electric compressor 10 of the present invention may be used to compress any fluid such as air.
  • the fluid machine of the present invention is not limited to the electric compressor 10 . If the vehicle 100 is a fuel cell battery vehicle, an electric pump for a vehicle that supplies hydrogen to the fuel cell may be provided as a fluid machine.
